Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different iigures oi" the drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide an oiler for lubricating machinery, for oiling the surface of saws, and for applying oil to metallic surfaces for protection against oxidation.

My inventionconsists in an oil-can having 2o a body of oblong form provided with spring sides and terminating in a wick-tube for receiving a broad wick for applying oil to the surface of saws for the purpose of lubrication andl for oiling metallic surfaces for the prevention of rust.

by the hand of the user, so as to eject the oilv from the can. The top of the can terminates in a wide ivicletube, B, adapted to contain a uwick, I), and Vat the side of the wioktube is formed a chamber, C, containing spur-wheels c, placed on a spindle, d, extending longitudinally through the chamber and through the 4o end of the can, and provided with a milled head, e, by which `it may be turned. Below the chamber C the wick is inclosed between the side of the can and the partition b. The spur-wheels c engage the wick b, so that by turning the spindle d in one direction or the other the wick may be raised or lowered, as may be desired.

The screw g, which enters the tube h, is ar `ranged to close the aperture f, more 'or less, accordingrto the requirements ofthe user, and thus control the iiow of oil to the nozzle D or the wick b. By this arrangement I am enabled v vapplication of oil either for lubrication or for protection against oxidation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi 1.
